Socially responsible investments (SRI) have significantly increased in the last years, which deems appropriate to develop the knowledge of the investment process linked to them. The main objective of this work is to identify the impact of introducing a SRI policy in the investment process as well as its causes and consequences. The analysis begins with the review of the current development of the SRI and the possibilities and limitations SRI investors face. Then, the detailed study of the traditional investment process and of the processes of a representative sample of SRI investors will allow the identification and analysis of the changes happening in an investment process when a SRI policy is introduced.
